Dongshi immediately fell into chaos, and officials from various guards came out to put out the fire.

Xu Jingzong squeezed into the chaotic street, confirmed the location of the fire, and almost screamed excitedly.

It turned out that the county marquis wanted to do this himself.

All the opponents' houses were ordered, and even if they were not burned to death, they would be taken to Dali Temple to find out the reason. During the rounds, these people would definitely not be able to attend the lantern festival.

"The county marquis has a good idea!"

I didn't expect that those mirrors would have such a wonderful use.

Fire broke out in three inns and five inns.

This is the first time that such a big fire broke out in Chang'an.

Li Shimin, who was still preparing to take a nap, immediately lost his sleepiness after hearing the news.

He summoned Dai Zhou, the minister of Dali Temple, and Li Daozong, the Minister of Justice.

Li Shimin asked while tidying up his clothes, "How is the fire?"

Dai Zhou, the minister of Dali Temple, replied: "Your Majesty, the place where the fire occurred is very strange."

Li Shimin asked with a gloomy face: "Is it because someone set fire?"

Dai Zhou nodded slightly, "It is very likely that someone set fire, and the place where the fire is exactly the talented people among the five surnames who are going to go to the Lantern Festival today."

Li Shimin nodded and looked at Dai Zhou's expression, "How are you doing?"

Dai Zhou answered: "Fortunately, no one was killed. Several suspected people have been arrested for interrogation. There should be a reply tonight."

Li Daozong, the Minister of Justice, was also King Jiangxia, said: "Your Majesty, the city gates were closed when the fire broke out, and the arsonist would probably not be able to escape."

Since Li Shimin ascended the throne, this time it can be said that it was the largest arson case in this dynasty.

Most of the eastern city is covered with thick smoke.

Those who don’t know thought that some anti-army invaded Chang’an.

The place where the accident happened this time was exactly the five-nation talented men who were going to visit Denghuo this time.

Li Shimin's face was cold and asked Dai Zhou and Li Daozong to continue to investigate.

After thinking for a while, he summoned Li Junxian.

Li Shimin asked: "What are Li Zheng doing this day?"

"Your Majesty has been in the horse circle all the time, and he has not taken a step out of Jingyang as before."

Tonight is a lantern festival competition between Li Zheng and these five talented men.

It happened to be where they were on fire again.

These coincidences collided with Li Shimin and had to wonder if it was done by Li Zheng.

"According to what you said, wasn't Li Zheng setting fire?"

Li Junxian thought for a while and said, "There is another person who has the opportunity to help Li Zheng set fire."

"Who!"

Li Junxian replied: "This person is called Xu Jingzong."

"Xu Jingzong..." Li Shimin gradually remembered. Wasn't this one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace who served in that year?

I haven't cared about this person for a long time and I'm almost forgotten.

Li Junxian said, "Xu Jingzong left the Censorate two months ago and took off his official clothes. He just did not report to the Ministry of Personnel. He has been walking around Chang'an and Jingyang recently."

Li Shimin said with a dark face: "What do you mean is Xu Jingzong helping Li Zheng set fire?"

"It may not be that he did it. Today, until the fire broke out, Xu Jingzong did not leave his house."

This time, the battle between the five surnames and Li Zheng.

Of course, Li Shimin hopes that it is Li Zhengying.

But if Li Zheng uses this method to win, it will be two different things.

Li Zheng can use tricks and tricks.

But he cannot set fire at the foot of the emperor!

"It's really strange, but Xu Jingzong didn't have the chance to set fire. It probably wasn't what Xu Jingzong did."

Dali Temple was checked until night.

The city gate has been closed until now. If the arsonist is to be caught, no one in the city can go out at this moment.

Dai Zhou came to the palace again to report the situation to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, there is an old farmer who has witnessed him watching a pile of hay burn with his own eyes."

Li Shimin hurriedly asked, "Does he see who set the fire?"

Dai Zhou bowed and bowed and replied again: "The old farmer said it was a demon fire. It was not because someone went to light the fire, but the hay started to burn it by itself. Some people said that when the fire just started, the fire was just put out, but in less than half an hour, the same place burned again, which was very strange."

Li Shimin's face became more and more gloomy and shouted loudly: "Can you be haunted by Chang'an City?"

"His Majesty calmed down." Dai Zhou knelt on the ground.

Li Shimin covered his forehead in pain.

Dai Zhou quickly explained: "If one person and two people said it, it might be just a rumor and lie, but dozens of people saw the demon fire burning together, but..."

"Does of people see it?"

"Yes, opposite the inn that was on fire, there was a tavern. Many people saw the inexplicable white smoke while drinking there. Then the fire started to burn. No one lit it, and the flames came from nowhere, and it just started to burn."

"Some people also say what it is, the demon fire is in trouble in Chang'an, and evil spirits come out to cause trouble."

Li Shimin didn't believe that there would be any evil spirits in Chang'an.

"Call Li Daozong, I want to ask him how he is doing."

Rumors spread everywhere in Chang'an. The original Chang'an City was fine. As soon as the young talents from the five surnames arrived, Chang'an caught fire.

There are many versions of the rumor, and some people say that people from the five surnames have attracted evil spirits.

Some people also say that people from the five surnames set fire to the house themselves.

Some people even said that the five surnames asked ghosts and gods to burn the entire Chang'an City.

In this era when people worship gods, they immediately thought of ghosts, gods and monsters for such incredible things.

This kind of thing naturally lacks Yuan Tiangang's share.

Yuan Tiangang took Li Chunfeng to walk at several places where the fire was set.

When the officers and soldiers saw that it was the Imperial Heaven Supervisor, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were immediately released and allowed them to enter the scene.

Picking up some ashes beside the wall, Li Chunfeng asked in detail if there was no smell of tinea oil.

When Li Chunfeng learned the news at the first time, Li Chunfeng's suspicion was Li Zheng.

After knowing the real situation, Li Chunfeng became more and more confused. If the fire was really released by Li Zheng, how did he do it? If someone was in Jingyang and set a fire in Chang'an, wouldn't he be able to ignite the palace in Jingyang?

Yuan Tiangang also looked around and found nothing unusual.

The buildings in Chang'an face north and south. Could it be that the sun is too hot that makes the house catch fire?

After thinking about it carefully, I felt something was wrong. The heat in the first two months did not catch fire.

It is now autumn, and it is no longer as hot as summer.

Could it be that it is really the demon fire?

Outside the outskirts of Chang'an, near Jingyang.

What happened in Chang'an at this moment could not stop the Lantern Festival from being unfolded as usual.

Many young men and women walk on the streets, and such entertainment parties are the most popular among young men and women.

Originally, this lantern festival was held by the five surnames, but many children of the five surnames were missing.

Even those who come here are some of the five surnames.

Three-year-old Di Renjie also came here with his father.
